Summary

The year-end countdown is here! Before the 2022 ball drops, Paula is putting her news hat back on to take you through the top 21 stories of 2021. Joining her for this conversational look-back is her husband, John Krueger, the everyman with the best announcer voice this side of a gameshow! Paula and John kick off the 3-part series this week with the PEOPLE who kept us talking – and these seven individuals have the Gold medals, Super Bowl rings, and receipts to prove it. From mental health to the health of the nation, from cheering to Britney’s freedom to chants of Let’s Go Brandon – and just why is gluten-free fan Tom Brady talking about bread all of the sudden? The people who made this list gave us plenty of reasons to talk, laugh, argue and even come together! Paula and John discuss what impact they each made in 2021 and what’s ahead for these big names in the new year.

0:22.6	I'm happy that I can be a leader for the survivors and bring courage to everybody speaking up.

0:27.6	Well, it takes two to move towards a more civil engagement discourse in this country.
0:31.6	Oh my God, Dad, we do it.
0:32.6	Let's go!
0:33.6	Over the next three weeks, this is what we're going to be doing on the podcast, the stories
0:39.9	that challenged us and the stories that brought us together. So if 2020 was the year that we
0:45.2	all kept our distance while asking why, why can't I find toilet paper? Why is it called
0:51.3	COVID-19? Well, 2021 was the year that we came together and we started asking how.
0:58.7	How might we end the pandemic? How do we teach race in the classroom? How do we make it better for moms and dads after having children to go back to work?
1:07.7	How can we save our world from ourselves? And thanks to Gen Z, just how am I supposed to
1:13.5	be partying my hair these days? We have been on a ride this year. Our world in 2021 was more complex
1:20.4	than ever. Everywhere we turned, it seemed like there were big questions in need of bigger solutions.
1:25.8	Now, personally, I like to disrupt and challenge,
1:28.7	but I also love to bring everyone to the table and make peace to show that we can disagree
1:34.5	without being disagreeable. And we have so much more in common than we think. So when
